A copy of the Prime Minister's schedule was left in public view on the dashboard of a police car. Photo / suppliedThis is the second embarrassing incident police have faced this weekend after photographs emerged of an officer wearing a gang patch just three days after the controversial gang patch ban came into force. Two photographs of a police officer wearing a vest with the Mangu Kaha gang patch visible were shared with the Herald yesterday and widely circulated online. Police Minister Mark Mitchell described the photos as disappointing, but said police would take the incident seriously. Director of Ihi Research Dr Catherine Leonard said the gang patch photos were “problematic and will perpetuate the cycle of distrust”.
